Name this Mystery Tool!
Name this tool! The owner of our bike shop inherited the tool in 2006 when he bought the store. It looks like a stripping tool of some sort. Any ideas?

It looks like a whisk broom handle that is missing all it's straw or whatever it used as it's fibrous part.

A guide to route the cables that run on the bottom of an old style suspended saddle?

These were fitted with bamboo rods. Generally used to flail recalcitrant novice bikeshop trainees

The little hooks look like they'd hold 5 different coil springs routed through the loops.

It's not a tool. It's a flag holder/bracket, for 5 flags. Probably pulled off a bike, where it had been used in an Independence Day parade.

It's a peacock feather holder. It used to be attached to a stick that should be put in ... well you know where.
